What gives? I understand there can be some variance in listed sizes versus actual sizes, but that's a huge difference!

I put one of them on my friends MTX33 29er rim (which i think is about 28mm internal width), and they were still well under 2 inches.

I fired off an email to Schwalbe, but I don't exactly know what they would do about my problem. My experience with newer Schwalbe MTB tires had led me to believe that Schwalbe was often a bit over their listed size, even when just measuring the sidewalls (not knob-to-knob)


And FWIW, they're still really nice tires, but I really wanted a 2" tire and the air volume to go with it. ]]> Commuting Slurry http://forums.mtbr.com/commuting/marathon-supreme-29x2-0-tiny-856113.html <![CDATA[OK, It's Not Really a Bicycle...]]> http://forums.mtbr.com/commuting/ok-its-not-really-bicycle-856087.html Wed, 22 May 2013 02:07:49 GMT but holy cr*p is right!
